Remember, 'Rome was not built in a day.' Instant success is never possible. Competence results only from sustained, consistent, self-disciplined effort over an extended period of time.

You can motivate players better with kind words than you can with a whip.

We compete, not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves. The real test is this: Did I make my best effort on every play?

Every game is an opportunity to measure yourself against your own potential.

Confidence is the invisible cement that binds a team together.

Losing is easy. It's not enjoyable, but it's easy.

Football, in its purest form, remains a physical fight. As in any fight, if you don't want to fight, it's impossible to win.
